Psalm 119: 1-8

¹ Blessed are those whose ways are blameless,     who walk according to the law of the Lord. ² Blessed are those who keep his statutes     and seek him with all their heart— ³ they do no wrong     but follow his ways. ⁴ You have laid down precepts     that are to be fully obeyed. ⁵ Oh, that my ways were steadfast     in obeying your decrees! ⁶ Then I would not be put to shame     when I consider all your commands. ⁷ I will praise you with an upright heart     as I learn your righteous laws. ⁸ I will obey your decrees;     do not utterly forsake me.
